Crabtree posted:Ben 10 is the lingering spirit of 20th Century children's marketing still going strong in a franchise that now cannot be stopped nor killed. It's just like Transformers, which means when Micheal Bay is somehow still alive in 10 or 20 years, he'll make a Ben 10 live action movie. But its basically marketing that dictates the creation of another incarnation of the same show instead of a show being the frontrunner of a franchise like when it was initially made. Man of Action is going to milk that sucker to fund its other weird ideas like the new Mega Man cartoon that's coming to Disney XD. Never really cared for Ben 10 anyway, but it probably won't be worse than the second show. I totally bet they'd redo Dexter, with or without Genndy on board. I mean, they kinda already did reboot it once, y'know, with those later seasons with a different VA for Dexter and the different art style.

Do you really think they'll touch something Gendy made without him after Nu PPG? If they're going to dig something out the vault they'll need actual talent behind it, if they actually learned from burning their hands on the stove this time.

He worked on a bunch of episodes, but PPG was Craig McCracken's baby. And no, I don't think network executives ever learn lessons. It took a network head stepping down to get rid of CN Real.

Don't get me wrong megas XLR was great and I loved it, but it didn't age well and it would of gotten stale if it went on any longer since it essentially did the exact same script every single episode. Tell me if this sounds familiar. Act1: Something bad happens with the robot. Act2: The struggle to get the robot working. Act3: getting in the robot and pressing the conflict resolution and end episode button.

I appreciate past shows and would love if they were occasionally re-aired or released on DVD or streaming, but I'm almost always in favor of the creators moving on to make something new. The good ones are always growing as people and artists, and it's always great to see what comes next. There's plenty of shows that leave you wanting more after they're done, but the only one that felt like it was unfairly cut down before it had a chance to me is Sym-Bionic Titan. And part of what makes me feel like that is looking over at the parallel universe of Nickelodeon and seeing what dragging a simple fun wacky children's cartoon across nearly 20 years can do. Even some of Cartoon Network's fondly remembered classics might've lasted one or two seasons past the point where the spark was no longer there anymore.

I absolutely adored Megas when I first saw it, but then some of the shine wore off years later when I found out it's soundtrack was comprised entirely of stock music. Granted, there were some really good tracks for sure, but the idea makes the show come off as kind of cheap.

I haven't watched the show so idk if they changed him but the Mayor's son was the big guy voiced by Andy Samburg. He gets eaten by a cooked chicken and then does karate in the chicken body and then in the second movie he wears a chicken costume the whole time. Edit: I looked it up, the show is a prequel? That takes place in high school? And Sam Sparks goes to the school? ???????? Macaluso fucked around with this message at 13:36 on Mar 26, 2017 |

So, do we still have a Gravity Falls thread? Cause this just came out today, and I'm curious what the cipher at the end means https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofdj1jMzQFY Also, I recently watched all of Gravity Falls. I love how much Strong Bad humor is in there.
